## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory has completed the procurement process for the purchase of Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), including programming software, batteries, battery chargers, and necessary training. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically targeting shooting practice, and was managed through a limited procurement method. The contract was awarded to Drone Safe Register on 3rd December 2024, with a total value of £57,966. The project location is within the UKJ region, and the procurement was negotiated without the publication of a contract notice due to the supplies being quoted and purchased on a commodity market.

Companies with expertise in developing and supplying high-quality RPAS and related software would find this procurement particularly lucrative. Additionally, businesses providing training services for such equipment may also find substantial growth prospects. Given the contract's specialized nature, SMEs with niche market experience like Drone Safe Register are well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future.
